It's my first KZread comment, for I've already cried twice at cadenza...

As my own country is slipping inexorably into absolute dictatorship I’m finding a lot of solace in Shostakovich’s work and maestro Vengerov’s interpretation. Trying to understand Shostakovich’s language to feel his desperation, anger as well as his courage and determination to defend what we hold dear against tyranny.

This concert was written right after take down of Shostakovich by Zhdanov in 1948 . Both his and Prokofiev's music was claimed to be pessimistic, formalistic and unfit the spirit of Soviet people. The final movement is kinda la danse macabre , that makes you run away from all the absurd you had to get through.

I am 100% with you (assuming you are not talking about Russia which I love) but not the Soviet Russia , lived in communist system 25 years, came to this country (US) for freedom and now it's under dictatorship worse than what I experience before. Lets hope soon freedom will return before it's too late. I love Shostakovich and know all about his fight against tyranny with his music and his fear, long live FREEDOM

I'm not in a dictatorship, but I find this music more universal than the circumstances in which it was written. Shostakovich is the composer who best satisfies me today, independently of the country I live in.

@@pierfrancescopeperoni yeah I’ve always liked Shostakovich’s music as it is but when experiencing repression first-hand Shostakovich was one of the things that kept me sane those couple of weeks. I found myself listening to this on loop. I guess misery likes company so maybe that’s why this piece consoled me in a weird way.

Dear Maxim Alexandrovich! 10 years ago when I listen this concert in Avery Fisher Hall in New York, right during perfomanse I wrote a poem (during second part) and on my back way home in bus and train I finished it. I have a book with my poem dedecated to Dmitriy Dmitrievich Shostokovich with poem called "Legends of the Immortals' Weapons" where I write about Leningrad Symphony story: how it was composed and performd include Arturo Toskaninin performing in New York and perform August 9, 1942 in Leningrad. I work on this poem since 2009 to 2014 and dreaming to translate in English but my English level was not high for such works. Since 2023 I started do do this with ChatGPT and translate Poeme and some short poemse like I mention now. Yesterday when I finished translate Poem writting during performing of this Concerto I decided to Listen It again and Find Your Performance. When I finished Listen it - I finished second poem inspire by The same concerto (but inspierd by third movement). Thank You very much. I let myself share new poem in translation to English. Sincerelly Mikhail. ON THE MORNING FOLLOWING THE DELUGE Cadenza Attacca After the flood, ground's slowly drying, and birds on the branches. Watch as the water recedes, awaiting the dawn to appear. Some and the others alive now, trading their doubts for new chances. Grasses and feathers and leaves greet new wind over fear Some people cry, somewho ask, "For what reason?" repeating, Something has closed and something has opened, piercing the Air. Waves do their final gallop. Someone diving us greeting, Terrifying, yet, I feel eyes from the darkness. Who care? Dance is not dance, and tears are not tears, and scream is not proper, Fear has receded and we know: reasons roll over with science. Choices await for us now: will it be quagmire or poplar? Birds are descending from last one on tablecloth in silence. No final chance, and though never been first one chance here Violinist steps from the dark, look around, chin raising with oath. Straightening tuxedo, and tuning his violin. Prophesy. Hear. Death or the life? Sun-ray touched very gently the bottoms of boats.   Mikhail Mazel

Dear Mikhail, Your poem is so beautiful!!!❤❤❤ Sometime I pray that you find a human to translate your poem into proper English! I have an idea that it is far more beautiful that a mere computer program can do your poem justice to!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God Bless!

​@@juliagrauel2951 Dear Julia! Thank You for respond feedback and believes in my words. It's not just web-translation - I work on it myself with help of AI, but of course it's not enough. but I'll try to improve my translators ability, Slow but will try to Improve. Thank You. Sincerely, Mikhail.

I find it so magical that he rarely ever opens his eyes. He’s fully immersed into the music feeling every bit of it. Pretty much unconscious with just his mind driving every single movement in regards to the music. He doesn’t need to see what he’s doing, he just plays so organically and perfectly that he knows the music will be as pristine and meaningful as it can be if he just plays it without the brain making decisions, he’s just playing the music as the music is.

The fact that you could hear his playing so clearly and crisply during the last minute is staggering. He plays with such strength and presence.

Another electric shock since his Ysaye #3!!!! Such high voltage OMG!

It's insane and at the same time genius..........

Maxim remains unmatched. Such a genius.

he makes it look ridiculously easy 🤩💕

This music has so much meaning and I feel like Maestro Vengerov just GETS it completely!

What a privilege to be able to watch this stunning performance... one of my favorite musicians beautifully playing one of my all time favorite composers! And with such an accomplished orchestra conducted by Maestro Sanderling. Absolutely gorgeous.

This performance, I feel, is a precious gift from Maestro Vengerov to his admirers.

Humanity at its best!

Mr. Vengerov, YOU are music!

So hauntingly beautiful I am really drawn to this piece. BEAUTIFUL!!! It hits me in my soul. He is ridiculously gifted

Beaucoup d'âme dans cette interprétation. Bravo, Maxim!

Dear Maxim Vengerov, you make me stop breathing! I cannot help being mesmerized by your magic. Thank you.

I listen with my whole heart, greatest performance.... ever!

This might be the greatest live performance of any violinist i have ever heard

The best performance ever!!!!😊

Чарующе тревожное произведение. Максим Александрович, спасибо огромное за вашу игру, всегда сплошное удовольствие слушать и смотреть

I've been inspired and have loved your playing since a child in orchestra. You are soo amazing! THANK YOU for existing!

Stunning Performance!

many thanks for this deeply appreciated post by my favorite violinist of my favorite composer's best violin concerto. Fine orchestra and conductor too. Bravo to all.

C'est juste magnifique 🎻🎶🌿💕💕💕❤️

Bravo! Thank you so much for sharing this performance. You have been my favorite violinist ever since I attended one of your early concerts at Avery Fisher Hall decades ago. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐💐💐💐

It’s like an epos - and it’s such an emotionally fulfilling experience, a voyage, how enormous! Bravo to Maxim Vengerov, Thomas Sanderling and the outstanding orchestra!

thank you, this is heavenly played.

wonderful！

Wow.. that performance 🔥

Belleza pura.Gracias Maestro

Thank you Maxim

Great performance Maestro Vengerov! Thank you so much for sharing! My favorite movement is the opening Nocturne and you play it so beautifully!

Cadenza is breathtaking ,a friend who has never heard of the composer or Maxim ,just cried hearing this for the first time .

Great to live in a time where anyone can enjoy this. Sadly not enough people will, but everyone should. It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

¡Gracias!

Amazing playing! Right there with Patricia! Dang this is great!

Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! The very best,

Изумляет красота звучания скрипки в руках этого мастера, исполняющего давно любимое произведение, знакомое в разных интерпретациях. Оркестр аккомпанирует замечательно. Спасибо за незабываемое впечатление!

Excelente, impecable la ejecución del Maestro Vengerov, saludos desde México.

Браво! Большое спасибо!

Bravo. Lei è nato per il violino e il violino per lei ed io amo ascoltarla. Grazie

Magnifique

Sensacional. Sentimento e técnica brilhante.

I have the acclaimed recording with Rostropovich. It's nice to see a video of this great work.

Bravooo 👏👏👏👏👏

To whoever manages this channel, it's obnoxious how there are so any ads placed randomly throughout the video. Please put them in between movements so that they don't disrupt the music. I'm sure Vengerov would agree with this

Wow maxim vengerov really practices 40 hours per day for this. I love his interpretation of this beautiful piece

Thank you Maestro !! This is a great gift for humanity. Please release some albums in HI-RES audio format (like SACD, Blu-ray audio or FLAC 192/24 files). I think your are among the few musician who did not have any HI-RES albums released for audiophile audience. Recordings of classical music must be released in HI-RES audio.

Oooh my!... how may strands of the bow's hair have been sacrificed for this performance?😂....you rock Maxim Vengerov!..so happy I got to know you thru Brett and Eddy of TwoSet!..❤❤❤🎻🎶🎵

WOW!!!

YEAHHHH

Dang.... I thought was going to be a new performance but because I'm stupid/and or tired I didn't see "(2019)" in the title. Still a great performance undoubtedly! Vengerov playing with the same passion and energy he had 30 years ago!!!

Matur suksma 😇🌹🌹🎻

огромное спосибо👏👏👏

À l'Attention de Maxime Vengerov. Bonjour à vous, De très bonnes fêtes à vous et à toute votre petite famille portez vous bien, on a besoin de vous. Que 2023 enterre une ère que 2024 soit l'ère d'une écriture qui vous habille de notes pour vous monter sur la marche la plus haute. J'espère que les nouveaux répertoires vous seront confiés. Mes efforts sont pour vous. Bien à vous, Karine.

Super human!

Vengerov, the master! One of my favorite violinists, he totally "Gets" this magnificent creation by Shostakovich. However, the live performance by the amazing Sergey Khachatryan with Maestro Eschenbach is completely out of this world.

Обожаю этот концерт, невротическая музыка, бурлеска и каденция - это взрыв

Surpasses the Oistrakh/ Maxim Shostakovich/ New Phil recording. The Scherzo is top notch.

Good

Atemberaubende!

🎉

I am not an expert or anything but In my opinion the most beautiful movement is the Passacaglia it feels like a solo violin against the orchestra that sounds really dark and violent whereas the violin seems to convey hope

34:23 yes!

Oh right, money.

Всё в жизни относительно - тоже самое и в музыке и исполнителях...нарочитое погружение Венгерова в этот шедевр смотрится несколько театрально - этим и берёт...звуком и исполнением он здорово проигрывает Hilary Hann, которая в 21 год в Японии так дивно отыграла Шостаковича !!! - это было событие, а её исполнение выдающимся - с тех пор больше ничего и близко к ней не слыхивал - куда там всем другим...это был ноябрь 2000 года. Понятное дело - своя интерпретация...я, конечно, не профессор скрипки, но жизнь прожита́...и есть глаза и уши...и ещё чего-то понимаю в музыке - но Hilari Hann 20 лет назад однозначно была куда убедительнее - честное слово...СПб, рабочий, 60 лет.

31:38 ~ I guess he missed a few notes of the cadenza. Still, this performance was phenomenal. The true master.

La performance d'Oistrakh est beaucoup plus intense

Скажите, пожалуйста, где в России можно услышать Максима Венгером? Обратила внимание, что нет комментариев на русском языке.... 🤔 Исполнение блестящее, браво Мастер! 🌹🌹🌹
